NOAA debunks claims that government can control hurricanes

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a statement on Wednesday debunking claims that the government can control hurricanes

After back-to-back major hurricanes battered Florida and inland states with Hurricane Helene in September and Hurricane Milton in October, some right-wing politicians and influencers made claims that the government can control the path of hurricanes. Those posing questions over the recent storms included Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican

"Yes they can control the weather," Greene posted on X in early October. "Anyone who says they don't, or makes fun of this, is lying to you. By the way, the people know it and hate all of you who try to cover it up."

On Wednesday, NOAA posted a statement about the claims on X

"FACT CHECK: Debunking weather modification claims. No one creates or steers hurricanes; the technology does not exist," NOAA posted

Martin Armstrong, a renowned expert in economic modeling, predicted the imminent start of World War III, which will lead to the collapse of the United States by 2032

He made the prediction using an AI called "Socrates", which Armstrong programmed to monitor the world's news feeds and search for fundamental news events that correlate with global trends

Armstrong famously used Socrates to predict the 1989 real estate market crash in Japan and the 1998 financial crisis in Russia; in the 1980s and 1990s he gave speeches to the U.S. Congress on the global economy, advised Margaret Thatcher, and after the 1998 default in Russia, the CIA

Armstrong originally created Socrates out of a desire to write software that could automate hedge fund trading

Over time, however, he began to realize that his code could also anticipate global conflicts. “There is always a noticeable movement of capital before a conflict begins or expands,” Armstrong believes. The “war cycle” began in 2011, he says. Based on the latest data analysis, he argues that the current conflict in Ukraine will escalate into a broader international conflict

As a result, the current world system will collapse in 2032. “About every 300 years we go through cycles in which governments change forms,” he explains

It doesn't matter what form of government we choose; there is always corruption, and they basically die of economic suicide

The last time this happened was with monarchies. 2032 will be the end of the republic.”

Basically, there is not much time left until the moment when the accuracy of this prediction can be verified

UN study reveals transgender athletes have won nearly 900 medals in women's competitions

The U.N. says transgender athletes competing in women's athletic events have won nearly 900 medals over their competitors, according to the results of a study obtained by The National News Desk

The 20-page document examined “violence against women and girls in sports” and claims more than 600 biologically female athletes have lost at least 890 medals to transgender competitors. These defeats occurred in over 400 competitions in 29 sports, though authors did not specify specific events, levels of competition or time periods

Authors of the U.N. study said the creation of “mixed sex” competitions has disadvantaged biologically female athletes who take on transgender opponents

“Male athletes have specific attributes considered advantageous in certain sports, such as strength and testosterone levels which are higher than the average range for females even before puberty, thereby resulting in the loss of fair opportunity,”

the study reads

Zelensky tries to bully NATO into letting Ukraine join, or he threatens to acquire nuke

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said that he issued an ultimatum to former president Donald Trump, saying that his country will pursue nuclear weapons to defend itself if it is not accepted into NATO

Speaking before the European Council in Brussels, he stated: “In a conversation with Donald Trump, I told him it comes to this

“The outcome is either Ukraine will be a nuclear power — and that will be our protection — or we should have some kind of alliance. Other than NATO, today we don’t know of any effective alliances”

He added: “NATO countries today are not at war. NATO countries are not fighting. In NATO countries people are still alive. Thank God. That is why we choose NATO, not nuclear weapons”

This stance is part of a “victory plan” that also includes Ukraine obtaining permission to employ longer-range missiles supplied by Western countries to strike military targets situated within Russia, which is something that many of Ukraine’s allies have been hesitant to allow so far

Lawmaker wants to punish foreign countries over detaining Americans

A New York Republican congressman has filed a bill that seeks to punish foreign governments that take Americans hostage or wrongly detain them

The proposal filed by Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., would create a new designation of "state sponsor of wrongful or unlawful detention" that would authorize the State Department to recommend sanctions against the offending country and potentially block foreign aid and other monetary assistance

Lawler said the proposal would also allow federal authorities to issue travel advisories for U.S. citizens, warning them against visiting countries that have been added to the list of offenders

"The number of incidents in which American citizens have been taken hostage while traveling abroad is deeply disturbing, and foreign governments that repeatedly engage in this behavior must be held accountable," he said in a statement. "Congress must do more to protect Americans and deter incidents from happening in the first place"

Countries visited by the U.S. Secretary of State since 2021

Secretary Blinken has visited Israel 18 times during his term—by far the most for any one country

Blinken has visited both Qatar and Egypt nine times so far—two other mediators in the war. He’s also been to Saudi Arabia: part of a longer-term plan to normalize relations between the House of Saud and Israel

Finally, Blinken has visited the West Bank four times—most recently to reiterate U.S. support for a Palestinian state

These visits to the Middle East stand in sharp contrast to Ukraine, where Secretary Blinken has made just five trips, also in a show of American support as the country battles a Russian invasion

George Soros acquires another media company as conservatives ponder strategies

Who thinks China’s not an economic powerhouse? China

One of the hottest topics at the upcoming global climate conference is whether China should still be considered “developing”

If China can go to the moon, asked the European Union’s climate commissioner in September, why isn’t it paying more toward climate action? Wopke Hoekstra’s quip laid bare a point of contention that will loom over November’s United Nations climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan: How can the world’s second-largest economy be simultaneously “developed”—at the cutting edge of science and technology—yet still be officially classed as “developing”—allowed concessions on emissions and access to global funds?

China likes to think of itself as a hybrid superpower, a compromise description that serves its diplomatic goals. In climate finance, though, the position is untenable. If a nation is considered developed, it’s expected to pay into a $100 billion-a-year UN pot. For the US, this meant an estimated $9.5 billion in 2023. Developing nations not only have no such obligation but can also use the money to mitigate the impact of hotter summers and more frequent storms

US and European leaders will push for China to join their ranks and begin paying up. But Beijing is set on defending its developing-nation status, which allows it to spend formidable amounts of money to advance global climate goals but on its own terms

China’s cognitive warfare advances include sound weapons, according to intel report

China’s military is advancing the development of high-technology arms, including sound weapons to wage cognitive warfare — the use of unconventional tools and capabilities to alter enemy thinking and decision-making, according to a new open-source intelligence report

The People’s Liberation Army is building sound weapons and other nonlethal arms that can incapacitate enemy forces by disrupting the neurological functions of human targets without causing visible injury, warns the report by the CCP BioThreats Initiative, a think tank of former intelligence and military experts

The report, “The Evolution of Cognitive Warfare: NeuroStrike Capabilities and the Strategic Role of Infrasound Weapons,” is the third study by the initiative covering what are being called Chinese “neurostrike” weapons

Five Eyes failure? New Zealand in the crosshairs of US intelligence leak investigation

New Zealand has been implicated in the leak of classified documents which outline the United States’ assessment of Israel’s plan to attack Iran

According to White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, President Joe Biden is “deeply concerned” about the leak

One of the documents says it was compiled by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, while the other appears to have originated from the National Security Agency

The two documents, marked “top secret,” were shared within the Five Eyes intelligence alliance of the United States, Britain, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia

They include the acronym FGI, standing for Foreign Government Intelligence

They were published on an Iranian-aligned Telegram account called “Middle East Spectator” last week, but Kirby said there was no “indication” that any additional documents will “find their way into the public domain”

New Zealand has recently been the victim of several successful hacks by foreign powers. The Government Communications Security Bureau, the country’s intelligence agency, recently suffered a $7 million (US$4.7 million) budget cut

Axios: Israel has paralyzed Iran's ballistic missile production

Israel's retaliatory strike on Iran has disabled a critical component of Iran's ballistic missile program, according to three Israeli sources

The destruction of the equipment would seriously undermine Iran's ability to replenish its missile stockpile and could deter Iran from further massive missile strikes against Israel, the sources said

The sources said Israel hit 12 “planetary mixers” used to produce solid fuel for long-range ballistic missiles, which make up the bulk of Iran's missile arsenal

A senior U.S. official confirmed that the strike knocked out Iran's missile industry

Israeli sources said the mixers are high-tech equipment that Iran cannot produce on its own and has to buy from China

The sources said it could take at least a year to restore the mixers. While Iran still has a large stockpile of ballistic missiles, Israeli sources said the fact that Iran cannot produce new ballistic missiles also limits its ability to replenish the ballistic missiles of its allies, such as Hezbollah and the Houthis

The Biden-Harris administration has a math problem

When it comes to statistics that allow voters to assess the Biden-Harris Administration’s performance, its math does not always add up. Revised crime statistics and jobs reports are common examples

The FBI discreetly revised the reported violent crime rate in 2022, showing an increase rather than the purported decrease in crime that was widely touted by the Biden administration and reported by the media

The administration has also faced scrutiny for making significant adjustments to job numbers post release, often revising them down after the news cycle has moved on. Biden’s Homeland Security Department has also faced accusations that it is admitting thousands of “inadmissible” aliens at the border to paper over scope of the immigration crisis

States are $811 billion in debt

America’s 50 state governments will need an extra $811 billion to pay off their current debt, according to the annual “State of the States” report from Truth in Accounting

State governments had $2.9 billion in debt and only $2.1 trillion in assets at the end of fiscal year 2023. The gap will need to be covered by taxpayers sometime in the future

Twenty-seven states have “taxpayer burdens,” meaning their budget is not balanced and they would need to collect at least $900 from every person in the state to eliminate their debt. Massachusetts, Illinois, New Jersey and Connecticut received a letter grade of “F” because they would need over $25,000 from every resident to pay their bills

Only 23 states had a “taxpayer surplus,” meaning they could pay off all of their debt and still have money to return to taxpayers. Four states received a letter grade of “A” because they have a taxpayer surplus above $10,000: North Dakota, Alaska, Wyoming and Utah

Unfunded pension liabilities contributed $840 billion to the debt. States have promised to eventually pay pensions to teachers, firefighters, cops and more, but have only saved up 70% of the necessary cash

Other post-retirement benefits are underfunded by $493 billion. They mostly consist of lifetime healthcare plans, for which states have saved up only 14% of the money they’ve promised to current employees

Kentucky doctors tried to harvest organs from alive, cognizant man

An investigation is currently underway to determine how Kentucky man TJ Hoover was almost murdered on the operating table for his valuable vital organs at Baptist Health hospital in Richmond

Hospital employee Natasha Miller claimed that she was about to do her routine duty of preserving donated organs for transplantation when she noticed upon his being wheeled into the operating room by nurses that Hoover was still alive despite having been declared "braindead."
Miller and several of the doctors, recognizing that something was not right, refused to proceed in harvesting Hoover's organs

"He was moving around – kind of thrashing," Miller said. "Like, moving, thrashing around on the bed. And then when we went over there, you could see he had tears coming down. He was crying visibly"

Even after it became undeniably clear that Hoover was still alive and aware, hospital officials decided to sedate him and try to proceed with the organ extraction. The transplant was ultimately canceled, though, as several employees, disgusted by the order to continue with the organ extraction anyway, quit in protest
